SEAPORT BOSTON ENGAGEMENT PHOTOS — BOSTON SEAPORT ENGAGEMENT SESSION

I’m photographing Jocelyn and Kyle’s wedding this coming November and had been due to shoot their engagement session a month or so ago, but with the cold temperatures and the snow still blanketing most of Boston and New England, we decided to hold off until things warmed up a tad! This past Saturday we were paid back for the wait, with some warm spring sunshine, that made the whole experience far more pleasant!

Starting off at their home, meant that Maggie could join in on a couple of the photos and that we could get some of their everyday locations in on the shoot as well! I always find it’s nice to incorporate a sense of home and familiarity into your photos when possible.

Not to mention that just around the corner was the chance for some great backdrops to their Boston engagement session!!

I love to keep on the move when shooting engagement sessions in Boston as there is always something new to experience or a different angle to take, and just occasionally you get the odd photo-bomber in on the action as well!

It also gives me the chance to check out new parts of town that I haven’t come across before! I love a good skyline view and this was the first time that I had been to this spot and seen Boston from up here. I couldn’t resist but add a few well known Boston architectural landmarks into the background.

From here we moved down the hill a bit and ended up on the waterfront, in the Seaport District, a favorite area of mine for capturing both landscape photos of the city as well as engagement portraits. In a short walking distance, you have a real variety of settings to work with and the opportunity to build a great set of images.

After that long cold winter that never felt it was going to end, it was so nice to be out with the sun shining and the grass glowing with color! I didn’t think that we were going to see the ground again until the end of the summer!!

SNOWY BOSTON ENGAGEMENT PROPOSAL

Post author By Roberto Farren
Post date January 28, 2014

I have photographed a few proposals in Boston, and have come to really enjoy them. Garrett had been in touch and told me about his plans to propose to his girlfriend Megan in mid-November last year, and I jumped at the chance to get them these photos, no matter how cold it was going to be out in December!

BOSTON ENGAGEMENT PROPOSAL PHOTOS — BOSTON PROPOSAL PHOTOS | GARRETT AND MEGAN

Garrett had an excellent excuse for his proposal, as he was taking Megan out for her birthday and had said he had arranged a hotel and dinner in Boston for her. The plan was coming together nicely! Megan, not suspecting anything, was happy to head into town to celebrate her birthday with Garrett and hoped to catch a show as well as a few other things he had planned. Although she was in on these ideas, she definitely wasn’t filled in on the whole picture.

I arrived ahead of them both to make sure that I would see them coming and could get snapping from a not too obvious location, in order to photograph the whole proposal without Megan knowing. A quick text from Garrett gave the signal that the operation was a “go” and that they were heading directly towards me, where I was based in front of the Boston Public Library. I managed to get some shots of them off as they walked down the street towards me and then passed straight by me. So far so good!

Garrett and Megan stopped outside the Boston Public library and Garrett gave me a second to loop around to make sure I could be in the right place when he popped the question. It didn’t take me too long to get where I needed to be and Garrett did the rest! Safe to say Megan was surprised, and of course, she said yes as well!

I like to give couples time after the asking of the “big question” before jumping on in to congratulate them. After a few minutes, I did just that and I think by that point Megan might have sussed out my part in the plot as well.

We headed into the Boston Public Library to get some great Boston engagement photos as well, making the most of the snowy and somewhat icy, but very beautiful courtyard that they have in the center of the older library buildings. It gave me the chance to get some images for Garrett and Megan on their special day, before leaving them to share the news with friends and family and have a great weekend together in the wonderful city of Boston.

All the very best to the both of you and your future together, and thank you Garrett for trusting me to capture this awesome moment between you two.

If you are thinking about a proposal in or around Boston and want photos to remember that very special moment and to relive the emotions afterwards, then please don’t hesitate to get in touch. There’s nothing I like better than an undercover mission!

Cheers, Roberto | Boston wedding photographer

BEACON HILL ENGAGEMENT PHOTOS | ALEXA AND MICHAEL PART 2

Post date December 10, 2013

WORDS AND PHOTOGRAPHS: ROBERTO FARREN

Welcome back to part 2 of Alexa and Michael’s engagement shoot in Boston, if you hadn’t yet seen part one, check it out here now! So after finishing at the Public Garden (where I could have shot all day with these two) we had a quick caffeine hit and an outfit change up before heading to the picturesque streets of Beacon Hill!

Alexa and Michael both had an idea of some locations and when they had initially spoken with me over e-mail Beacon Hill jumped out and would incorporate a lot of these. An outfit change between the Boston Public Garden and Beacon Hill also gave a nice change in feel to the photos between the two places as well. I can say again how much fun it was getting all these photos with these two :)

No engagement session in Beacon Hill would really be complete without a few photos on the famous Acorn Street as well!

Thank you to both Alexa and Michael for allowing me to capture these images for you both here in Boston, it was a real pleasure meeting you and I wish you all the very best for the future together!

Cheers,

Roberto | Boston & New England wedding photographer

BOSTON ENGAGEMENT SESSION — BOSTON PUBLIC GARDENS ENGAGEMENT PHOTOS | ALEXA AND MICHAEL

WORDS AND PHOTOGRAPHS: ROBERTO FARREN

Alexa and Michael got in touch with me early fall to see about getting some engagement photos in and around Boston before all the color disappeared from the trees. They are both not Boston locals so it was really nice to be able to get them some photos together in their new city. As someone that has moved to the area fairly recently myself it is nice to chat with others that have relocated to this wonderful city and get their impressions as well. We picked the Boston Public Gardens and Beacon Hill (part 2 coming soon) for the setting and backdrop of their engagement photos, two place that I really love shooting at.

The Boston Public Gardens are a great location for engagement photos, with a number of smaller locations inside that give you a range of feel to your photos. You can get intimate images as well as photos that bring the crowds and other people into them as well to give you something completely different. The stonework of the bridge over the duck pond is really nice and within 20 feet you have two very different locations, on and under the bridge. The colors in the trees were really nice still at the time of the shoot and so gave an added color punch to the photos too.

: BOSTON PUBLIC GARDEN ENGAGEMENT PHOTOS | ALEXA AND MICHAEL

It was really great fun meeting and photographing Alexa and Michael and it was clear from the start that they were both very comfortable with each other in front of the camera. It can take a while to get used to having your photos taken on an engagement shoot, this isn’t something that you do every day. I try and make my engagement sessions as relaxed as possible as this really lets peoples characters come out and it seemed clear to me very quickly that these guys were very happy together.

BOSTON ENGAGEMENT SESSION PUBLIC GARDENS — BOSTON PUBLIC GARDEN ENGAGEMENT PHOTOS | ALEXA AND MICHAEL

You can’t head to the Boston public gardens for engagement photos and not include those great willow trees into at least a handful of the images!

It would have been easy to have not included any black and white photos in the set of final images, with all the wonderful color that was popping on the trees but I really love to deliver a mix of both formats. I think the black and whites photos give a really nice quality and atmosphere to images.

We finished up inside the public gardens on the bridge over the duck pond to capture some of the crowds of people, before heading outside to make use of the railings that surround it. This was our last stop before heading on over to Beacon Hill for a costume change and a completely different feel to the second half of their sitting.

Check back in soon for part two of Alexa and Michael’s engagement photos over in Beacon Hill and please get in touch if you are looking to plan your Boston or New England engagement session in the near future.

All the best,

Roberto | New England Wedding photographer

WYCHMERE BEACH CLUB WEDDING | BRIGITTE AND CHRIS PART 2

Post author By Roberto Farren
Post date December 5, 2013

WORDS: ERIN FARREN | PHOTOGRAPHS: ROBERTO FARREN

Welcome back for Part 2 of Chris and Brigitte’s recent wedding at Wychmere Beach Club in Harwich Port on Cape Cod. Click here for Part 1.

WYCHMERE BEACH CLUB CAPE COD WEDDING PHOTOS

Chris and Brigitte had obviously taken great care with the details of the wedding reception, and everything from the Antique window frames that were used as a seating chart to the red and white take-away candy buffet looked amazing.

Instead of a guest book, friends and families wrote their wishes for the couple on postcards and “mailed” them in an old-fashioned lobster trap. The postcards, which contained images from Roberto’s landscape photography collection and featured urban landscapes of Boston and Cambridge and coastal shots from throughout the Cape, were also used as wedding favors for guests.

Early in Part 1, I mentioned that this wedding in particular had me feeling particularly teary at times, and it was Chris’ speech that snuck up and got me, when I was supposed to be in the next room scouting for detail shots. He spoke with such love and humor about Brigitte, and their parents, families and friends. Chris and Brigitte currently live away from both of their families in Switzerland, and Roberto and I have both lived far away from our families over the course of our relationship, so I related very closely to Chris’s heartfelt words, as they reflected a lot of my relationship with Roberto. He spoke so beautifully about his love for Brigitte and about his gratitude for the trust that both of their families had granted them to take care of each other when they made the decision to move abroad, that I found myself getting simultaneously smiley and blurry. I’m sure this confused the extremely efficient and helpful wait staff at Wychmere, but alas, it was a lovely speech, and I certainly wasn’t the only one that was searching blindly for a tissue by the end of it.

Tears aside, it was time for a fantastic meal followed soon by some fantastic dancing. Chris and Brigitte put together a wonderful playlist, and friends and family alike were soon getting down on the dancefloor, which overlooked Wychmere Harbor and the impressive sailboats docked within.

After the reception finished, there was one last set of shots to get… We snagged the newlyweds for a few more portraits in the dunes, and then joined the rest of the wedding party as they walked down the beach towards the hotel. The setting sun provided some great light, and the photos of the group strolling along the shore looked much more like a magazine photo shoot than the last shots of the day for a wedding. We hope that you all had a great time celebrating well into the night, and congratulations Chris and Brigitte!

If you are planning your New England wedding day at Wychmere Beach Club or any other location either on the Cape or back up in Boston then don’t hesitate to drop Roberto an e-mail to see about coverage for your big day!

Cheers,

Erin

WORDS: ERIN FARREN | PHOTOS: ROBERTO FARREN

I thoroughly enjoy assisting Roberto when he needs an extra pair of hands at a wedding. That said, Roberto has been left to fend for himself (quite ably, I might add) more than once when heartfelt vows, speeches or first dance songs have left my eyes blurry with tears. A Saturday this past September was definitely one of those days. Chris and Brigitte’s wedding at the stunning Wychmere Beach Club was amazing… Grab some beautiful people, put them in a beautiful location, and add some beautiful, late summer weather, and you’ve got yourself a good day to be a wedding photographer.

Both Chris and Brigitte were relaxed and happy going into their big day, and Roberto popped between them as they got ready. It was really great catching up with them both again after having photographed their Boston engagement session the previous fall. Nerves are not out of the ordinary during weddings, especially in the lead up to the ceremony, but this pair was delightfully laid back throughout the day. Chris was already looking dapper as Roberto checked in with him that morning, and got some preparation shots of him with his groomsmen at the Inn by the Beach in Harwich Port.

Moving over to Wychmere Beach Club, Brigitte looked stunning even before she stepped into her wedding gown, which turned out to be a dress that looked as if it were made for her. The fit, the style, the movement of the fabric, everything was perfect. She was definitely sporting that “bride glow” as she put the final touches in place and greeted her bridal party. Roberto got some amazing shots of Brigitte and her bridesmaids before leaving the ladies with glasses of champagne, and heading outside to get ready for the ceremony which was held on the lawn of the Beach Club facing the beach and Wychmere Harbor.

The processional began soon after, and parents and bridesmaids were escorted to the front where a friend of the couple would be performing the ceremony. The music then changed, and Brigitte and her dad started the long walk across the lawn to Chris to Beyoncé’s “Halo”. I’ve got a soft spot for Beyoncé (Roberto and I walked down the aisle to “Crazy in love” after we were married) and I thought it was the perfect, romantic song choice for this couple, both musically and lyrically. I may have leaked a tear at this point, but there are no witnesses. The ceremony was sweet, filled with lots of laughter, and Chris and Brigitte were soon husband and wife.

The lawn outside Wychmere is a really great venue to hold the ceremony, with the sea and the beach giving you the perfect Cape Cod backdrop. The main venue just a stones throw away too and should you not luck out with the weather as Chris and Brigitte did, then you can always opt for an inside location very easily.

Stay tuned for Part 2 of Chris and Brigitte’s lovely Cape Cod wedding at Wychmere Beach Club.

If you’re looking for wedding photography coverage on the Cape or another part of New England then get in touch, Roberto is looking forward to hearing your plans!

Cheers,

Erin

BELLE MER NEWPORT RI WEDDING PHOTOS | PART II

Post author By Roberto Farren
Post date October 11, 2013

WORDS AND PHOTOGRAPHY: ROBERTO FARREN

A little late in coming, but here at last is part two of the wonderful Indian wedding that I shot at Belle Mer wedding venue in Newport, Rhode Island with the team at Anna Wu photography. Don’t forget to check out part one here! We return now to pick up the ceremony and celebrations by the coast on a beautiful and perfect summer’s evening in New England.

BELLE MER WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY — BELLE MER WEDDING PHOTOS NEWPORT RI

Arriving ahead of the wedding party for the Christian wedding service gave me some time to capture the exquisite details in the banquet room before everyone settled in for the evening. The colors and the layout of the room were such a pleasure to shoot as the late afternoon sunlight flooded in through the large windows overlooking the sea and ceremony location.

Once I had those images in the bag, I headed outside to capture the Baraat celebrations as the groom came in on a white horse. I have captured Baraats on a number of occasions, and this was one of my favorites. This was when I really noticed the vibrancy of the colors in the outfits. It is really a special moment to photograph.

From here, it was straight to the back of Belle Mer and to their Hindu celebration. Again, I arrived ahead of everyone and had the chance to get some images before it filled up with guests. The wind blowing in off the sea and catching the colored fabrics made the whole scene very romantic and atmospheric.

With the guests flooding in and getting settled, it wasn’t long before the ceremony was underway. The groom and his family entered, followed shortly after by the bridesmaids and of course, the bride herself.

The light was perfect, the temperature was perfect and the setting was perfect, and with those three falling into place it can be hard to take a bad photo. With a full-length ceremony ahead of me, I was able to capture lots of different angles and aspects. It was hard to stop shooting, to be honest!

With the second ceremony complete, it was time to get the party started! Belle Mer wedding venue is a great spot for a party as well. With the large banquet room and the flowing grounds around the main building you really get a lot from one location. As the guests were starting to settle in for the arrival of the bridal party, I could see that the sunset was going to be a really great one that evening. The landscape photographer in me couldn’t help but get my tripod and filters and get a shot as the sky erupted with color over the Claibourne Pell Suspension Bridge.

I didn’t stay around till the very end of the ceremony, but I was there for some very emotional and moving speeches from both fathers. It was really great to have photographed at Belle Mer wedding venue in Newport RI and I hope to get back there in the very near future. If you are planning a wedding there or anywhere else in the New England area and would like to talk about coverage, then please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Cheers,

Roberto | Boston and New England wedding photographer

BELLE MER WEDDING PHOTOS | NEWPORT RHODE ISLAND PART 1

Post author By Roberto Farren
Post date September 11, 2013

WORDS AND PHOTOGRAPHY BY ROBERTO FARREN

I had the wonderful opportunity of photographing a beautiful Indian wedding in Newport, Rhode Island at the picturesque, Belle Mer venue. I was shooting alongside West coast based wedding photographer Anna Wu who was the lead photographer on the day. As I have said before it is always really nice to have the opportunity to shoot alongside other photographers and even more so when it is at new venues here in New England. I have split the post into two parts, this one covering the first look and Catholic ceremony and then another part to come capturing the Indian ceremony back at Belle Mer, so be sure to check back in soon for that.

WEDDING AT BELLE MER NEWPORT RI — BELLE MER WEDDING PHOTOS | NEWPORT RI

Having checked the weather forecast for the day it looked like it was going to be a little hit or miss if we were going to escape without rain, but I am happy to say that despite a few threatening clouds all we got were a few drops while driving between venues. Belle Mer in Newport RI is a stunning venue, placed in an absolutely perfect location. If you are looking to hold your wedding in RI then this place should be on you list of places to check out along with others like the equally great Oceancliff. It was the first time I had met Anna Wu in person but having had a look at her work and chatting over e-mail I knew that it would be great to shoot alongside her.

Starting with the bride and groom at the hotel which was just a short three minute drive away from Belle Mer meant that we had lots of time to get the preparation photos before heading to do their first look. I concentrated my time shooting with the groom and working with his cousins to nail the tying of the bow tie! With that task in the bag it was off to Belle Mer to get the day really going!

WEDDING BELLE MER RI — BELLE MER WEDDING PHOTOS | NEWPORT RI

The grounds at Belle Mer are equal in grandeur to the inside of the venue and the clean lines and manicured foliage of the outside wall and lawns provided the perfect backdrop for this first meeting on the day. They both looked absolutely stunning and the light breeze that day really made the most of the beautiful long flowing veil.

In case I hadn’t stated it enough the first time round the location of Belle Mer really is a special setting for a wedding. I think the second part of this blog post will show it off even more but for now the photo below gives you a good idea of the backdrop that you are dealing with. After we had done the first look and everyone was getting settled into the day, Anna took the bride and groom off for some photos together. Having an extra take on these can give some unique and different angles as well, and when I’m shooting weddings for my own clients I will often jump into the places like these to make sure that I capture them all.

BOSTON WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHERS — BELLE MER WEDDING PHOTOS | NEWPORT RI

Doing a first look means that you can get all of the formal bridal party and family photos done before you set out for the ceremony which can make it a little bit more relaxed later on. This worked out great in this situation as the church location was about an 40 minutes away from Belle Mer and so it allowed everything to stay on time and still get all the images from the day. A first look isn’t for everyone but if you are looking to maximize your time on the day then it really is a great option.

NEW ENGLAND WEDDING PHOTOS — BELLE MER WEDDING PHOTOS | NEWPORT RI

I borrowed the groomsmen away for a few shots of just them between some of the other family formals as well.

BELLE MER WEDDING PART ONE — BELLE MER WEDDING PHOTOS | NEWPORT RI

The church where the Catholic ceremony was held was beautiful both inside and out. St Mary’s in Cranston RI was a pleasure to photograph in and also gave the unique opportunity for some stand out images from this part of the day.

With their Catholic ceremony complete, it was time to head back to Belle Mer in Newport for the second part of their day and the Baraat and the Hindu wedding ceremony that was to take place in the main grounds with the sea and the Claibourne Pell Suspension Bridge as the backdrop to that. Check back in soon to catch the rest of the day.

Bedford Village Inn Wedding Photography – Brittany and Chris, Part 2

Post date September 4, 2013

WORDS: ERIN FARREN | PHOTOS: ROBERTO FARREN

Welcome back to Part two of Brittany and Chris‘ New Hampshire wedding day! Don’t forget to check out part one here as well!!

BEDFORD VILLAGE INN WEDDING NH | BRITTANY AND CHRIS

We arrived at the Bedford Village Inn and got ready for the ceremony. The elegant Great Hall was both their ceremony and reception venue, and the rustic but luxurious venue had been decorated beautifully by Brittany’s mother, who runs a greenhouse and garden center in Wilton, NH.

Brittany and Chris shared a quick moment together when she arrived, and then they entered the Great Hall together, led by a bagpipe player in honor of Brittany’s family heritage. A close friend officiated the non-denominational ceremony, which included a number of personal touches, including the signing of a Ketubah, which Brittany had specially made as a surprise for Chris. The beautiful, handmade Ketubah was set against the background of the Cliffs of Moher, which they visited on the trip to Ireland where Chris proposed.

After the ceremony, we ventured outside onto the lovely grounds of the Inn, where we took care of all of the group shots for family and friends before snagging Brittany and Chris for a few minutes on their own. The gardens around the Bedford Village Inn provide a number of beautiful backdrops for photos, and Roberto and I enjoyed a quick portrait session with the newlyweds.

We came back inside just in time for brunch to be served, and tucked into a delicious meal before the music started to ramp up. The DJ did a great job getting the dancing started, and Brittany’s young nieces and nephews bounced happily between plates of wedding cake and showing up the adults on the dance floor. Guests mingled, danced and sent Brittany and Chris happy wedding wishes while decked out with props from the photobooth.

Friends and family continued the party well into the night (and morning) at the newlyweds’ home, but we said goodbye with wishes for a happy night and a happy future together. Brit and Chris, thanks for including us in such a special day in your lives, and can’t wait to catch up again soon!

In the meantime, if you’re looking for coverage for proposal, engagement, wedding or event photography, look no further! Get in touch with Roberto at Roberto Farren Photography for more info.

STONEWALL FARM WEDDING KEENE NH

Post author By Roberto Farren
Post date August 21, 2013

As a wedding photographer here in New England you really are spoiled on some of the locations that you get to shoot. There are such a variety of ceremony and reception venues that people chose to get married in this part of the US that it feels like no two weddings are the same. In the three years that I have been shooting here, there are only a small number of venues that I have shot at more than once. One that I hadn’t shot at until this wedding was a farm in the countryside of New Hampshire, and when good friend and fellow photographer Joe over at JGD design and photography asked me if I would like to shoot alongside him for a wedding he was shooting at Stonewall Farm, I jumped at the chance!

WEDDING PHOTOS AT STONEWALL FARM KEENE NH — STONEWALL FARM WEDDING PHOTOS | KEENE NH

I love to fill any weekend that I am not shooting a wedding for myself by shooting it with some of the other great photographers in and around Boston. It’s a great opportunity to continue learning from friends and colleagues as well as exercising my own creativity. Alex and Andrew were getting married at the wonderful Stonewall Farm in Keene NH not too far from where I was based in NH at the time. The venue is a stunning place to get married with a perfect outdoor area. I arrived early at the venue while Joe was shooting with Alex and this gave me some time to capture the essence of this wonderful place.

Alex and Andrew had a really great day lined up and the details for the day fit in perfectly with the rural farm location. Everything had a rustic feel to it and you knew from the get-go that it was going to be a relaxed but party filled day. Having the ceremony and reception all at Stonewall Farm meant that once the actual wedding was over, it was straight into the cocktail hour and the partying. They both looked great and the ceremony was a wonderful celebration of their love for each other, and was filled with smiles and laughter throughout.

Joe took Alex and Andrew off to get some portraits of just the two of them and this gave me time to get some candid shots of the rest of the guests enjoying the afternoon. There was plenty to do, eat and drink during the cocktail hour that was held outside the main hall of the farm and the perfect late summer weather meant that it was a real pleasure to be outside. There were hay rides, lawn darts being played and a stash of Frisbees meant that people were not short of things to do, you just had to watch out for the flying disks, although they were bright yellow so that helped! :) A live band playing made the day even more special and it was the perfect afternoon to spend getting married at Stonewall Farm.

When the day moved into the main hall for dining and partying the celebrations stepped up a notch. After the eating, speeches and first dances, this crowd, aided by some great music by DJ Dig-Doug got the party into full force! I don’t think I’ve been at a wedding with such constant movement and dancing throughout the whole night, that was topped off by some crowd surfing by the bride and groom! Alex and Andrew, is was a real pleasure to be a part of your wedding day at Stonewall farm and thank you to Joe for having me along to shoot!
